Profile

Overview

We are a leading parking infrastructure owner and operator in the Western European market, with a large and diversified portfolio of owned, leased and managed parking facilities (PFs) across seven Western European countries. We mainly operate purpose-built off-street parking spaces (PSs), owned by us as well as PSs under concessions and long-term leases from public and private landlords, at strategic locations.

We started our operations in the Netherlands in 1998, and expanded to Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom in the early 2000s. We have consistently secured long-term contracts and built a portfolio of prime parking locations in seven Western European countries and over 500 cities (including control fee contracts we are present in over 700 cities). Our diversified portfolio includes multifunctional PFs near inner-city areas, public transport nodes, airports and hospitals.

As at 31 December 2025, we operate over 5,500 PFs providing over 1,237,000 PSs in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark.

We have defined revenue groups based on the service we provide to our customers as follows:

  • Parking revenues: revenue from short-term parking (single transactions with post-paid profiles) and season tickets (multiple transactions with pre-paid profiles).

  • Control fees: income arising from enforcement of paid parking (parking fines) on-street or in parking facilities owned by us and/or by third parties.

  • Management fees: the fixed and variable allowance for operating parking facilities for third parties.

  • Rental income: rent from parking facilities owned by us but operated by third parties, as well as income from renting out specific areas in parking facilities to third parties.

  • Electric Vehicle (EV) charging revenues: revenue from selling electricity by our electric vehicle charging points that are owned by us.

  • Other revenues: all other income not included in the categories defined above.

Strengths

We believe we have several competitive advantages in the car parking sector in Western Europe. These include leading positions in our local markets, a high-quality real estate portfolio and long-term cash flow visibility. Our business is diverse and resilient with strong asset locations, geographical spread, and a scalable platform offering tangible growth opportunities across our core parking business, digitalisation, EV charging and mobility solutions.

We demonstrate that effective regulated and paid parking – combined with smart tariff plans, pre-booking propositions, digital access and payment services – makes an economic and sustainable contribution to cities and society. Effective, regulated and paid parking has a positive influence on how people enjoy their time in the city, whether they are visiting, travelling, shopping, commuting or living there.

Our operations are supported by a growing customer base, well-established presence and favourable pricing dynamics. As an established market player, we have consistently grown our total revenue for the past 25 years, except during the COVID-19 period.

In addition, our long-standing relationships with municipalities enable an ongoing dialogue with public sector stakeholders, allowing us to be a key partner in discussions to improve local and regional mobility solutions.

Thanks to these strengths, the key infrastructure features that underpin our business model, and the continuing regulatory shift in favour of off-street parking, our business generates stable, predictable and recurring cash flows.

Trends

We continue to benefit from the following key trends:

  • Urbanisation – growing population driving demand for parking.

  • City visits as an experience – inner-city off-street parking ideally suited for longer stays.

  • Liveability – transitioning parking from on-street to off-street.

  • Paid parking expansion – parking operators are important partners in creating accessible city centres.

  • Digitalisation – enabling seamless parking services for off-street parking, such as pre-booking.

  • Energy transition – off-street parking facilities are ideally positioned suited to offer EV charging and energy management at scale.
